1. Desecration of the Western Wall

Can one even begin to imagine the response of the authorities had a similar scene had been attempted at either the Kabba in Mecca or the Pope's most sacred chapel? I am sorely disappointed in Ms. Portman and her film company for a lack of any empathy or respect for what common sense should have recognized as community sensibilites. She needs to make Teshuvah, but her apparent lust for fame and fortune have apparently blinded her to what really matters.
2. Desecration of the Western Wall

The worst on-going desecration at the Western Wall is the tolerance of pan-handlers and "holy" men selling blessings. Despite the signs forbidding begging, any social parasite who dresses like a Haredi is allowed to prey upon visitors who come to pray.

She's so interested in fame and fortune she agrees to make a small independent film in Israel? Come on now. Offending the dati at the wall is too easy...they offend me by simply being.

I couldn't care less whether she was or wasn't kissing in front of the Kotel.
